Heart and stuff

QuestionAnswer
your heart is a pump that creates enough forc to make blood circulate
your blood belongs in blood vessels
name the 3 types of blood vessels CVA capillaries, veins, arteries
what does veIns do carry blood IN the heart
what does Arteries do carries blood away from the heart
Capilllaries exchange substance at tissues
thick walls, small lumen and thick multi layered vascular walls Arteries
relatively thin walls, large lumen, often have valves is a veIN
Walls with a single cell thick, tiny vessel with narrow lumen is a capillary
Arteries carry oxygeneated blood Away
arterioles tiny branches off of the arteries
cannot be seen with unaided eye, narrower than arteries but wider than capillariesm and feed blood into capillaries are arterioles
veins carry deoxygenated blood into the heart
valves prevent backflow of blood in the heart
Exchange with vessels Artery-Capillary-VeIN
vena cava largest vein in the body carrying deoxygenated blood
right atrium recieves deoxygenated blood from the body
right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood to the lungs
pulmonary artery artery carrying oxygen-poor blood from the heart to the lungs
tricuspid valve valve between the right atrium and the right ventricle
semi lunar valve a valve in the heart linking the ventricles to the aorta and pulmonary artery
bicuspid valve valve between the left atrium and the left ventricle
aorta largest artery in the body
what is blood function transports substances and helps maintain stable internal environment
average human has 5 lieters of blood
plasma liquid part of blood
white cells cells of the immune system that circulate in the blood leukocytes
platelets clotting factors that are carried in the plasma
coagulation blood cotting
red cells do not have a nucleus in order to hold more oxygens
venules vessels larger than capillaries but smaller than veins
these types of vessels lead from capillaries into veins also known as venules
hemoglobin a iron containg protein in red blood cells that reversibly binds oxygen
oxyhemoglobin hemoglobin combined with oxygen
agglutinogens antigens on the surface of the RBC that is the basis for blood
Erythrocytes (rbc"s) pass through capillaries in single file
types of blood A, B, AB(universal reciever) O(universal donor)
Capillary- beds networks of vessels linking arterial and venous blood
RH negative blood
Rh positive or negative blood
at artierial end of capillary blood pressure greater than osmotic pressure so fluids, oxygen, and nutrients are forced out
blood pressure inside the Capillary- and osmotic pressure outside Capillary- cause oxygen.
osmotic the process where a solvent (usually water) passes through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration to balance concentrations
venous end of capillary osmotic pressure greater than blood pressure so fluids carbon dioxide and waste products are forced in
about 90% of fluids lost are returned to Capillary- at venous end the other 10 % is picked up by the lymphatic system
Hematopoiesis blood cell formation
hemostasis the process of clotting the blood after a blood vessel wall has a breakage
hemostasis first phase vascular spasms occur narrowing the blood reducing blood loss until clotting occurs
vasoconstriction narrowing of the blood vessels
rate of enthryote production is controlled by a hormone called ehrythropoetien???? which targgets
second hemostasis phase platelet plug forms, and are usually repelled by the endothelium in the blood vessel walls. which release chemicals that cause more palates and the form a big ahh pile
third phase of hemostasis clotting factors present in plasma and to form thrombin and enzyme that causes to joining of fibrinogen, fibrin forms a mesh and platelets forming a blood clot
apex pointed part directed towards left hip
base broader and points towards right shoulder; great vessels emerge from it.
pulmonary right side of the heart
systemic left side of the heart
pumps blood from heart to lungs and back to left side of heart is the pulmonary
pumps blood from heart to body tissues and back to right side of heart is the systemic
pericardium double sac of membrane enclosing the heart; secretes fluid to help heart beat easier
epicardium surrounds external surface of heart
parietal pericardium loosely applied at the hearts base
myocardium cardiac muscle that contracts
endocardium sheet of endothelium that lines the heart chambers
sinoatrial node Tissue in the right atrium that starts each heartbeat
atrioventricular node a small bundle of specialized cardiac muscle cells located at the base of the right atrium
atrioventricular bundle tract of specialized cells that originates at the av node
purkinje fibers fibers that extend from the av bundle
lub closing of AV valves
dub semilunar valves opwn
mid to late diastole atria are contracting and filling the ventricles with blood(semilunar valves closed and AV valves open.)
Ventricular systole pressure inside ventricles increases, closing AV valves then smilunar valves open and blood leaves the ventricles
diastole heart relaxes
systole heart contraction
ventricular systole pressure inside ventricles increases, closing AV valves,
Early diastole ventricles relax semilunar valves close, AV valves open
Murmurs Abnormal or unusal heart sounds often due to valve problems
valve doesn't close tightly and blood flows back through causing sound you hear
cardiac output amount of blood pumped out by each side of the heart in 1 minute
cardiac out put is determined by heart rate and stroke volume of blood pumped out by ventricle with each heartbeat
60% of blood in heart pumped out ye
during physical or emotional stress SA and AV nodes are more strongly stimulated, resulting in more rapid heart beats
epinephrine and thryroxine increase rate
calcium blood low levels decrease rate
potassium low levels cause abnormal heart rhythym
Arterial Pulse expansion and recoil of an artery as left ventricle pumps
pressure points pulse points compressed to stop blood flow
